Abstract

Ti-Mo-Fe alloy was developed as low cost beta Ti alloys for automotive springs, and designed based on Molybdenum equivalency and Bo-Md molecular orbital method. Low priced Mo-Fe master alloys were introduced as alloying elements for the cost and elastic modulus reduction. A laboratory scale ingot was melted by ISM (Induction Skull Melting). Then, microstructure characterization and hardening behavior of a new designed Ti-12.1Mo-1Fe alloy during solution and aging treatment were investigated in the present study by microscopy, X-ray diffraction and hardness test. The results showed that ω phase played a more important role than a phase in hardening. The hardening due to ω phase can lead to high hardness about 470 Hv. However, the coarse a phase resulted in hardness below 300 Hv. On the other hand, the alloy exhibited fast aging response due to high diffusion rate of Fe element in the Ti matrix.
